This was made for a customer requesting the US Navy Officer's crest with the person's name at the bottom. I used 50 stars in a circle around the plaque.
Troy, love his crest. After Vietnam my door gunner enlist in the Navy and spent over 20 years retiring as a Captain and really want to make this for him. One of my questions, I say "one" because there might be more, how do I edit the name?
No luck. I don't understand either. Guess I'll do more checking on my end end. But this the only file I seem to having trouble with. think I'll try another file from this site and see what happens.
I just now got it figured out. I went to Light Burn did the edit and exported it as a svg file and exported it to Easel. Doing a test run as I type this and looks good. Thanks for your time and help.
Troy, Nice job. I'm a retired CPO and new to XCarve. I have a couple of questions do you have this file set up for a Chief or Senior Chief ? That was my rank. I am try to use the file you shared and having a hell of a time with the letters.
Did you use Vectric's Aspire program or Easel Pro for this project? I trying to get an idea how you carved the eagle. I am just getting my xcarve and trying to learn it...sorry

could you please share this project? I tried opening it and it says it isnt shared publicly?
Louie Podunavac · January 12, 2022
Did you do this all in acrylic?
Alan G MillerPro · January 26, 2022
Sorry for the delayed response. This should be shareable now. The project is in pine, I use the acrylic material to show detail only.

What Bit did you use?
Gordon Lewellen · May 26, 2022
Hey Gordon - I used a 90 degree V bit for everything except the cutout. I used a 1/4" spiral bit to cut the pocket and a 1/8" to cut out the insignia.

Hi Duane - Glad you like it! I use Adobe Illustrator for my text, but you may be able to use Easel to curve your text.
Troy BradyPro · June 13, 2022
Apparently the whole file is locked and will not allow me to do any editing. Any chance of you unlocking it????
Duane Heda · June 13, 2022
Hmm... it doesn't appear to be locked on my end. Not sure what's happening.

Found the problem Tony. The workpieces were locked. I clicked on the lock icon and no more problem!!!
Duane Heda · June 13, 2022
How do you edit the persons name?? Also, I routed and cut the crest and it came out perfect!!
Duane Heda · June 14, 2022
I don't think it can be edited in Easel. It was originally created in Illustrator and converted to an SVG file, then imported into Easel.

Is this made from two pieces, one on top of another, or is everything outside of the eagle carved lower?
Brad SylvesterPro · January 06, 2023
Hey Brad - It is made from 2 pieces. The top piece is about .7" thick and is inlayed about .25" into the bottom piece (1" thick).
Troy BradyPro · January 06, 2023
Great project
